As an admissions counselor, you recruit prospective students to your college or university. Your job duties include attending college fairs, guiding high school and other prospective students on campus tours, and developing programs to aid recruitment. Like an admissions officer, your responsibilities can include communicating with students, preparing reports, answering prospective student inquiries, scheduling workshops and presentations, and interviewing students based on their application status and qualifications. Counselors may also help students through the application process and ease the transition into a college or university program from high school.
